SpeidelEnterprises.com is currently undergoing maintenance, but I'm still available for hire! Here's my resume.

Computer Science · App & Web Development

ParkerSpeidel

I build apps and websites, with most of my current work centered on SwiftUI, clean interfaces, and practical software.

I'm a Computer Science student at Grand Valley State University, minoring in Mathematics and continuing through the combined Data Science & Analytics pathway. I like building software that turns an idea into something people can actually use.

Things I've built.

01

Physique Pal

Co-Developer · iOS

Physique Pal is a native iPhone fitness app that I co-developed and shipped to the App Store. It brings workout tracking, exercise history, Apple Health data, training analytics, AI coaching, nutrition tools, routines, supersets, rest timing, and other day-to-day gym features into one app.

I work across interface flows, data and external-service connections, on-device testing, and the details that make the app practical during an actual workout.

Built with: Swift, SwiftUI, Apple Health, APIs, AI integrations

AI Social Photo Editor

Independent iOS Project

I'm building a Swift-based photo editor around the workflow between taking a photo and posting it. The project combines a normal mobile editing experience with AI-assisted tools and external services, with Firebase handling app data and backend needs.

The app connects a SwiftUI interface to APIs, model-driven features, and persistent data while keeping the editing workflow simple.

Built with: Swift, SwiftUI, Firebase, APIs, model integrations

Christian Education in Liberia

Web Development

I'm rebuilding the nonprofit's website using WordPress with custom HTML and CSS. The work is focused on clearer organization, a more current presentation, responsive behavior, and a site that is easier for the organization to maintain after the rebuild is finished.

The rebuild focuses on clear content hierarchy and an editing workflow that makes sense for the organization maintaining it.

Built with: WordPress, HTML, CSS

How I got into programming.

I got serious about programming through competitive VEX Robotics. Over several years I worked mostly in Python and C++, writing and debugging autonomous systems and learning how to break a large problem into smaller pieces that could actually be tested.

Robotics was especially useful because code had to work outside the editor. Sensors were imperfect, mechanisms changed, and a solution needed to hold up under competition pressure. That is where I built a lot of the patience and problem-solving habits I still use now.

My interests have since moved toward app and web development, especially SwiftUI. I still value the robotics background because it made me comfortable adapting to a different tool, language, or problem when a project calls for it.
